Hey all. So here is yet another experiment and so far a successful one! Still in beta.
Recently I randomly watched a video on YouTube by "IndoorTokers" and the "Dab Spot", and they were talking about a new disposable oil cartridge made with a subohm ccell ceramic coil. They also mentioned that this company also makes coils for regular vapeing (non weed). This got me researching....
I came across these ceramic Ccell coils (these are not new and some of you may of heard of them).....Aaaannnddd the coolest part is that these coils fit me Melo 3 tank that came with my iStck Pico kit! They also fit a bunch of other tanks too (like 20+ tanks. Scroll down in this thread for a list
http://vapingunderground.com/thread...nks-can-use-the-vaporesso-ccell-coils.193653/ )
These coils have both bad and really good reviews, however I decided to get a pack and try them. I knew that I wanted to start using TC so i decided to go with the .6 ohm SS ccell coils.
(Nevermind the pink setup. I got the same Pico kit for my sister in laws bday and been testing it out in her rig before giving it to her)
Needless to say, I made another batch of juice. I had 1ml left over from my gorilla glue batch (that I felt needed to be better mixed) and .5 grams of OG wax, so I mixed the .5 OG with 1ml of regular WL and my left over Gorilla batch. Ended up with almost 3ml total.
As a side note: about every 3rd review on these coils is a bad one saying that they can't get these coils to prime properly. I also found a comment that helped me with that issue. You need to slowly build up your watts/temp as your priming the coil. The heat allows the ceramic and juice to heat up and aid with wicking. So I did that, put the tank on, filled it up (with only half my juice, just incase) and let it sit for a few as I continued to slowly pulse the coil to ensure good saturation.
So far its way better than my other tank, and there is no sign of color change in the tank. When you look at these coils, you can't see any cotton (however I think there is a thin layer on the outside of the ceramic coil)and I think this will help with this issue. Also, TC is the shit, and so much more consistent! It's a must. Been in the range of 420° -450° and I also been messing around with the TCR setting. The Pico I believe is set for ss316, and these coils (along with almost all ss coils and wire available) are ss316L. Not a big difference, but can notice a difference when I change the value. I'm at 150TCR value. Supposedly these coils last a long time, I'll keep you posted as I refill. I'm about to add the rest of my batch (~1ml), but will probably dilute it a little bit with my banana WL. This batch is getting me blown after like 2 rips. Sometimes I want to be able to puff on it a few more times, plus it will last me a little longer.
I wanted to share this in hopes you too have a tank that takes these coils, that way you can try this out too.
My next experiment is trying using the ss notch coils with ekowool hollow wick in my RTA......one day soon.
Well, till next time!
